House Republicans’ Fiscal Year 2017 Budget

A Balanced Budget for a Stronger America provides a vision and specific solutions for how we can, as a nation, get our fiscal house in order, strengthen our national security, provide support for those who need assistance, and empower our citizens and our communities.

Addressing this challenge is an imperative that cannot wait – and every American must be engaged in the discussion.
